Swaziland
The media itself is not presenting a united front. It is a fractious industry and the media associations are ineffective and do not garner
wide support. The most well-known group, the Swaziland National Association of Journalists (SNAJ), was described as a “toothless
dog”.
The existing media organisations are: Swaziland National Association of Journalists (SNAJ); MISA Swaziland; Media Workers Union of
Swaziland (MWUS); and Gender and Media Swaziland (GEMSWA).
